§ 88. Mr. J. H. Osbornasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to inform manufacturers and 262W printers of diaries, and public bodies of the dates of the Easter and Spring Bank Holidays in future years, and in particular in 1969 and 1970.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuI can see no reason for moving away the Easter bank holiday from Easter Monday. Unless the date of Easter should come to be changed in the meantime, the next five Easter Mondays will fall on the dates in the table below. The table also gives the dates that I have already announced for the next two years' late spring bank holidays; and I hope to be able to announce very shortly the date for that holiday in 1970.
Year Date of Easter Monday Late spring bank holiday 1968 … 15th April 3rd June 1969 … 7th April 26th May 1970 … 30th March (to be announced later) 1971 … 12th April (to be announced later) 1972 … 3rd April (to be announced later)
